Person detection device and person detection method

A person detection device configured to analyze a fisheye image obtained by a fisheye camera installed above a detection area to detect a person existing in the detection area, the person detection device comprising:

• a human body detector configured to detect a human body candidate from a fisheye image and output, as a detection result, a bounding box indicating a region on the fisheye image of each human body candidate detected;
• a reference storage configured to prestore a reference for a shape and/or size of the bounding box for each position or area on the fisheye image;
• and
• a false detection determining unit configured to compare the shape and/or size of the bounding box of the human body candidate contained in the detection result with the reference corresponding to a position where the human body candidate is detected to determine whether the human body candidate results from false detection,
• wherein the reference for the shape of the bounding box for a center area of the fisheye image and for an area located at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the center area is set to be different from the reference for the shape of the bounding box for upper and lower areas relative to the center area and from the reference for the shape of the bounding box for left and right areas relative to the center area.
